There are two fields :

1. Task Comments

2. Comments

 

When ever a new value is entered in Task Comments , i want to store that in Commnets .

Task Comments may have new value but Comments will track all the historic data of Task Comments.

Hi,

 

You mean to say that 'Comments' field should contain all the old values of 'Task Comments'. Am I correct?

Yes.. 

 

Comments should track all the text entered in Task Comments

Hi,

 

Will you display this 'Comments' field on VF Page.

 

This is can be achieved in two ways. 1. By writing a trigger, 2. Add some javascript code in VF page.

This requirement is to copy the value and to display it on the same record (page) . No need of any Visualforce page.

 

I need help on the trigger

Hi Raj,

 

try the following code,

 

for(Candidate__c irow:Trigger.new)
{
   if(System.Trigger.oldMap.get(irow.Id).Tcomment__c != irow.Tcomment__c )
   {
          // you can copy the value into another field here
   }
}
